“Painting” with a pair of scissors

Inspiration
Using the Japanese Notan technique.

Materials

• Colored cardboard for our background 30 x 40 cm
• Black square cardboard 15 x 15 cm
• Pencil
• Eraser
• Scissors
• Glue

Proccess

1. Place the black square on top of the colored cardboard
2. Using a pencil, draw geometric or organic shapes, patterns, etc.
3. Draw simple shapes on the edges of the cardboard so that they can be easily cut out.
4. Cut exactly on the lines you drew. Attention! Our shape should not bleed out at all.
5. As we remove the shapes from the black square we carefully put them aside.
6. Glue the central piece of the black square in the center of the colored cardboard.
7. Place the cut shapes of the square in their original position for easy placement.
8. To glue the cut-out shapes, open them as you would open a book.

Ready!
